Let’s face it. Our eyes gravitate towards a flat and well toned abdominal region. We all want […]

As a beginner bodybuilder, you just may be doing much too much too soon. This can result in a feeling of overall tiredness and…
When performing the classic Vince Gironda 8 sets of 8 program, you select only ONE exercise per body part and you train half your body each session (approximately 5 exercises per workout) for a total of 40 sets. Perform 3-4 workouts per week, each muscle is trained no more than twice per week
